3:02 pm
ivanka once championed when she served as a white house adviser. cnn's betsy klein joins us now. betsy, walk us through these details. >> well, jessica, president trump and his team are fundamentally changing the role of the u.s. in the world on humanitarian aid. and if this feels a little bit jarring, it's because president trump himself was once a vocal proponent of usaid. and i think no one tells that story better than his daughter and former senior adviser ivanka trump. now, this was such a priority for president trump back in 2019 that it was a key piece of his state of the union address unveiling plans to sign an executive order launching the women's global development and prosperity gdp initiative, which he signed in the oval office just a few short days later. now it was a priority for ivanka. she spearheaded it. it fell under the umbrella of usaid, and therefore it was a priority for president trump. now, sources that we spoke to who worked
3:03 pm
closely with her, as well as beneficiaries of this program, talk about the real impact it had on millions of women around the world. one woman, who was a farmer from the country of georgia, told cnn. when i saw president trump was elected again, i thought it was going to bring more support for women's economic empowerment because he loved this program. now, this program was aimed at helping empower women economically abroad. it helped close the digital divide, combat food insecurity. it did things like provide capital for women entrepreneurs looking to launch small businesses, and it was actually rebranded and continued to be successful during the biden administration. but after five years of its existence, it was shut down just last week during a stop order applying to many. usaid programs. but really, all of this underscores a major pivot for president trump on the topic of foreign aid, as he looks to slash federal spending and some real
3:04 pm
concerns from sources we've talked to on programs like this that are tools for soft power and who might fill that vacuum in the absence of u.s. leadership abroad, jessica. >> and betsy, the president also announcing this plan to gut the existing board of trustees at the kennedy center for performing arts there in washington, and to have him take over as chairman. what can you tell us about that? >> yeah, a really dramatic and unexpected move from president trump last night announcing his plans to gut members of the kennedy center board of trustees and also to oust its existing chairman. that's david rubenstein, the billionaire philanthropist who obviously has been a very close ally of former president joe biden. trump saying that he would be the new chairman. now, the kennedy center has a very long and storied tradition of bipartisanship. presidents of both parties appoint members that serve long terms, and they work together to select the kennedy center honorees, among other issues. but really, all of
3:05 pm
this an unprecedented move. the kennedy center, for its part, said in a statement, there is nothing in the center's statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members. jessica. >> all right. betsy klein in west palm beach for us. thank you so much. also, earlier today, a federal judge blocking elon musk's doge agency from continuing to access the treasury department central payment system. and now just into cnn, the white house is responding. this is what they're saying to that ruling, quote, these frivolous lawsuits are akin to children throwing pasta at the wall to see if it will stick. grandstanding government efficiency speaks volumes about those who'd rather delay much needed change with legal shenanigans than work with the trump administration of ridding waste, the government ridding the government of waste, fraud and abuse. the judge in that case has ordered the administration to appear in court on friday, where they will argue against over a dozen state attorneys general that will decide whether the temporary restraining order continues or if it is lifted. axios senior
3:06 pm
contributor margaret talev is here to talk more about all of this. margaret, good to see you on a saturday evening. thanks so much for being here. we're getting our first response that i yeah, that i just read there from the white house responding to this ruling about those treasury department payments. look, the fact of the matter is people elected president trump knowing full and well he had big plans to dismantle and disrupt major parts of the federal government. he promised it. and this is what he is doing. what is interesting is we are seeing the court system, not democrats who are acting and not even congress, really, as the check here. what do you make of how this is being responded to? >> well, jessica, i. think you. >> are seeing some democrats respond. many of the attorneys general who brought the litigation are democratic attorneys general. but the reality in washington is that the the balance of power depends on who controls each of those
3:07 pm
bodies. and right now, the democrats are not in control of the u.s. house and not in control of the u.s. senate. so they can slow the wheels of government a lot, but they cannot block in the same way they could if they were in the majority. and i think what you're also seeing is president trump really taking unprecedented steps. uh, absolutely. testing the boundaries, both of the law and of the system's ability to slow him down. and so under both of those scenarios, it's completely inevitable and predictable that this would all end up in court. but i think what you're seeing in the case of doge and the treasury, uh, is even a little bit more complex for two reasons. one, americans didn't elect elon musk. and so you're even starting to see in early polling, it's very early. i don't want to overinterpret it, uh, that americans are not completely comfortable with elon musk being empowered in these ways. right. and the other is that what we're talking about here, in the case of the treasury systems, is people's
3:08 pm
personal financial data and data that may relate to their benefits, future benefits such as social security. and so i think one of the elements i'm very interested to see, but we're also hearing just even anecdotally as well as i think we will see this in polling also from, uh, from voters, from older voters across party lines, is that they're very, very concerned that their access to money and benefits and entitlements and things like social security not be altered in any way as a result of what's going on. so we've talked about a number of things, the kennedy center and what's going on with usaid. and all of these things are meant not only to be extremely disruptive and test the boundaries of power, but to move very quickly before anyone can stop them, to be able to go to the base after the first 100 days and say, we said we were going to do this and we did it, and now we're beginning to see the machinery respond to
3:09 pm
that. and in the judicial system, this already involves and is going to continue to include many republican nominated judges. district court judges also, who are saying, hang on a second, uh, we need to understand what the law actually allows you to do. >> yeah. and kind of slow it down just a little bit. in some cases. you mentioned this a little bit, but, you know, republicans we've talked to we just had tim burchett on last hour say they are very confident in musk and his allies, many of whom are in their 20s, early 20s, that this is a secure process, that they don't need any more, they don't need any background checks, they don't need to know more. we feel fine that they have access to these incredibly, um, you know, all this private data and these incredibly important systems that are responsible as you, as you know, for distributing these payments to americans. but but you also note that americans are starting to get nervous about that. do you think that that explanation is going to continue
3:10 pm
to hold when you're talking to, like you're saying, senior citizens that are worried about payments or people who rely on some of these programs that are just nervous about what this might mean? >> yeah. and i saw that interview earlier this afternoon. i to some extent, i think it is going to depend on how the public reacts. and i think the other reality is that republican members understand that president trump is more popular than they are in their party, and more powerful than they are in their party. and even though he comes in now, this being his second term as a lame duck president who cannot run again under the laws of the united states, it doesn't mean he can't wreak a lot of havoc for them. so at this moment, even republicans who've got some heartburn about this are incentivized to choose their words carefully or just, uh, you know, keep it on a slow burn for a while. and we're going to see a lot of republicans say, no, this is great. this is exactly what we want. i think it's going to take some time for the public, uh, opinion to sort of
3:11 pm
catch up for people to understand. and then i think you're absolutely right. look, if a wide array of americans are very comfortable with elon musk and like, six guys, you've never heard of getting in and touching on their personal data, um, then then this will truly be only up to the courts to decide if americans are uncomfortable when it comes a political issue in the midterms. that could change. it's very early. i don't think most of the public, i think the public is hearing bits and pieces here, but i don't think most americans pay attention with the same granularity that we do in covering these issues. it's going to take a few weeks for people to catch up to the reality on the ground. >> yeah. and then you're exactly right, margaret. then it's up to them to decide what they think about it. and if they want to change the direction or keep the direction. margaret talev, thank you so much for being here. we appreciate it. >> thanks, jessica. >> still ahead, celebrations after three israeli hostages are freed. but their frail appearance. look at this

3:17 pm
president trump. bring every hostage home this week. for now, though, the gradual approach continues, going through several phases. we're in phase one today. israel welcoming the release of three additional hostages who were held captive by hamas for 491 days. but there was a lot of concern as people around the world and in israel saw the frail condition of those israeli captives. cnn's jeremy diamond joins us from tel aviv with more on this. >> well, we are in hostage square, where earlier today we witnessed very emotional scenes as hundreds of israelis gathered here to watch as those three israeli hostages were released from hamas captivity after 491 days. but it was really a roller coaster of emotions. initially, yes, there was the wave of relief as those three hostages emerged in live pictures for the first time after more than 15 months. but then there was also some pained looks on the faces
3:18 pm
of many here, as they realized the state in which those three israeli hostages were emerging, all three of them looking quite frail and emaciated after their time in captivity. it was particularly striking to see the image of eli sharabi, a 52 year old who was taken hostage from kibbutz be'eri on october 7th. the difference between how he looked before he was taken hostage and how he looks now really striking. clearly, he has lost a lot of weight, and really, these images are driving the israeli public to focus on the remaining hostages in gaza. and these images driving a public debate here in israel over the fate of this cease fire agreement, with many saying that it is a reason to push to extend this agreement and to ensure that all of the remaining hostages in gaza come home. now, earlier this week, it's important to note that the israeli defense minister, the former israeli defense minister, yoav galant, noted that the agreement that is bringing these hostages home now is identical
3:19 pm
to the one that hamas agreed to in july. and his point being that all of that has happened since then are wasted months during which many of these hostages have faced dire conditions. but in addition to that sense of urgency, we did see the emotional reunions between these three newly freed hostages and their families, many of them meeting initially at the military base in southern israel, and then others also meeting with them at hospitals in central israel. in addition to that, we've seen as 183 palestinian prisoners have been released from israeli prisons in exchange for those three hostages. they include 18 who were serving life sentences. several of those will be deported to third party countries. 111 of them were detained in gaza over the course of this war. since october 7th. we know, of course, that some of those who have been detained in gaza were rounded up as part of israeli military operations in
3:20 pm
the gaza strip. many of them held without charge or without trial, and now indeed being released as part of this agreement and on the palestinian side as well, both in gaza as well as in the west bank, we have seen images of people reuniting with family members and also, of course, several individuals who were taken to hospitals after their time in israeli prisons. jeremy diamond, cnn, tel aviv. >> jeremy, thank you. and after last month's deadly terror attack, city officials are on alert in new orleans. they're ready for anything they say. but aware that football fans are just looking forward to the super bowl. we're going to have the latest on those preparations. and what's a party in the streets? that's next here in the cnn newsroom. >> cnn presents. >> hbo's real. >> time with. >> bill maher. >> tonight at eight on cnn. 7 million u.s. businesses rely on tiktok to compete. >> within a week of posting, i had over $25,000. >> in sales. >> i don't. >> have $1. >> million to. >> put towards marketing. >> and branding. tiktok was the way and it saved my company.

>> 808 two one 4000. >> super bowl lix kicks off in a little over 24 hours, and as eagles and chiefs fans descend on new orleans ahead of the big game, tighter security measures are on full display there in new orleans. the super bowl coming just about a month after a terrorist attack on bourbon street, killed 14 people. cnn's senior national correspondent ryan young has more on the preparations underway. >> you're going to see drones. you're going to see helicopters. you're going to see boats in the river. you're going to see people on rooftops, sniper teams. >> this is the man spearheading super bowl security for the federal government. >> you will. >> see more bollards in place. you'll see more temporary barricades in place. you'll see blast shields in some locations. >> homeland security investigators, the division that is leading coordination this year, granted cnn access as they prepare for at least 700 federal

3:27 pm
enforcement personnel, our canine handlers, they're all ready for this event. >> sporting crosses now mark the spot where so much tragedy happened here in new orleans, and people have been showing up to pay their respects. while this has been going on, they've been getting ready for the super bowl. so you see the access points have been choked. they've added more bollards to the system here. this is a triple layer security. they have the sanitation truck. they have the two layers of security here. and these extra heavy gates that will stop anyone from getting on the sidewalk. the agency has designated the game as a tier one event in its special event assessment rating system, meaning it has the highest security tier assigned by federal authorities. still back on bourbon street and across the city, the pride and excitement is palpable. >> there's a. >> reason why they've been here 11 times, because. >> this is the best place. >> to do it. everybody knows. >> that the. >> one thing that we do better than anything else is. >> entertain people. >> mardi gras, for us, is like
3:28 pm
having two super bowls every year. >> what stands out to you with the level of security that's here in new orleans? >> not in my 15 years of public service in the city of new orleans. have i ever seen the level of security in this city like it is right now? unprecedented. not only from, you know, boots on the ground who are here in new orleans, but also on the intelligence side. we know that things are different because of what's happened here, but our culture and our city, the way that we feel about our city and the love that we have for our city, that still remains. >> jessica. and it's almost hard to hear at this point in terms of the city. it's so loud. more than 100,000 extra people are expected to come to the city to celebrate the super bowl. you look behind me. this is one of the things they brought to bear. that's bearcats that they wanted to have to stop. this is the street where, of course, bourbon street, where that terror attack happened. there are several different blockades here talking to federal agents. a lot of them are saying they've never seen a security footprint like this in their entire career. they are also surprised by how much security is here. you're talking about federal,
3:29 pm
local and state all coming together to make sure this is safe. talking to people who traveled here from out of town, they say they actually feel extremely safe, but at the same time, they're concerned about anyone trying to be a lone wolf or some presidents coming here tomorrow as well. jessica. >> all right. ryan young there in new orleans for us. thank you so much for that. and the super bowl isn't just about football, of course. it's about the commercials that always have people talking. from the hilarious to heartwarming. dozens of companies paying more than $7 million for a 32nd spot this year, with one source telling cnn some are going for more than $8 million, and here to discuss that with us. jamie turner, a marketing professor at emory university, the author of an audience of one. jamie, good to have you on. thanks for being here. what exactly. >> great to. >> be here. yeah, it's it's an exciting time for anybody that that that watches all of this and pays attention to the marketing and what goes into it, what makes a good super bowl ad. >> yeah. >> you know, there's three
3:30 pm
things that you look for in a great super bowl ad. one is clarity. the second is. >> impact, and the third is memorability. >> clarity is just. >> are you getting your message across? impact is. >> did you grab people's. >> attention so that they turn away from the conversation? they're having. >> to say, oh, let's watch this. and the last one is memorability. >> is it the kind of thing that. >> you're going to talk. >> about the next. >> day. >> in the office at the water cooler? >> just say. >> hey, wasn't that a funny commercial or a. >> sad. >> commercial that we. >> saw on the. >> super bowl last night? >> so clarity, impact. and memorability are the big three. >> yeah. and i know we talked actually on a different show yesterday, and i loved what you said about if it makes an impression. i think it was you said it either makes you laugh or it makes you cry, that you'll remember it more. >> yeah. basically what marketers. >> do, like me. >> is we. >> study the brain and how memories are made in the brain. and what we found. is that memories. >> are made. >> when you have. >> an emotion around something. and so. >> you're always trying to. >> make people laugh or cry. >> because that's an emotion.
3:31 pm
when you just. >> do something. >> that's pure. >> logic. >> it's less memorable. it's not impossible to have something memorable that's purely logical. but if you can get people. >> to cry. >> or laugh, then you're creating an emotion. and when emotions are created, a memory is created. and that means that when you're in the grocery store aisles or down at the. >> at the store. >> you're looking at things and you're going, oh, i remember that product from the super. >> bowl commercial, and you grab it. >> so a lot of these companies put out ads earlier before they actually air. so we've been able to see a few of them. is there any that you would say that's a great ad. >> i absolutely love post malone and shane gillis for bud light. great. but the best one i think so. >> far is. >> actually billy. >> crystal and meg ryan for hellmann's mayonnaise. >> it's playing the. >> last of us. yeah, yeah, it's just a funny thing that will be very memorable. and it's also something that. >> is tied. >> into the product. it's not just a joke, it's actually. something that. is tied into the product because it's about food and all that sort of good stuff. so that's going to be one of the more memorable ones and one
3:32 pm
of the better, more effective spots tomorrow. >> yeah. and how do brands measure the effectiveness of their ads after this game? >> yeah. you know, with digital advertising. >> you. >> can click through on something and we can follow that. click to the website and see if you bought. something with super bowl advertising or tv. >> advertising. >> it's a little harder to measure and a little less. >> accurate. >> but you can still monitor it. you either do surveys to find out if if awareness of your brand. increased after the super bowl. you can also watch for sales increases. if you get a little bump right after the super bowl, that's a pretty good indicator that, hey, super bowl commercial was memorable. it had clarity, impact, and memorability, and that made people buy the stuff at the store. and that was an $8 million investment that actually paid for itself. and then more. >> it is all so fascinating. we will all be watching. jamie turner, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> great to see you. >> you too. we'll be right.
